 In this file we prove that the following functions are convex:
 
-* `convex_on_exp` : the exponential function is convex on $(-∞, +∞)$;
-* `convex_on_pow_of_even` : given an even natural number $n$, the function $f(x)=x^n$
-  is convex on $(-∞, +∞)$;
-* `convex_on_pow` : for a natural $n$, the function $f(x)=x^n$ is convex on $[0, +∞)$;
-* `convex_on_zpow` : for an integer $m$, the function $f(x)=x^m$ is convex on $(0, +∞)$.
-* `convex_on_rpow : ∀ p : ℝ, 1 ≤ p → convex_on ℝ (Ici 0) (λ x, x ^ p)`
-* `concave_on_log_Ioi` and `concave_on_log_Iio`: log is concave on `Ioi 0` and `Iio 0` respectively.
+* `strict_convex_on_exp` : The exponential function is strictly convex.
+* `even.convex_on_pow`, `even.strict_convex_on_pow` : For an even `n : ℕ`, `λ x, x ^ n` is convex
+  and strictly convex when `2 ≤ n`.
+* `convex_on_pow`, `strict_convex_on_pow` : For `n : ℕ`, `λ x, x ^ n` is convex on $[0, +∞)$ and
+  strictly convex when `2 ≤ n`.
+* `convex_on_zpow`, `strict_convex_on_zpow` : For `m : ℤ`, `λ x, x ^ m` is convex on $[0, +∞)$ and
+  strictly convex when `m ≠ 0, 1`.
+* `convex_on_rpow`, `strict_convex_on_rpow` : For `p : ℝ`, `λ x, x ^ p` is convex on $[0, +∞)$ when
+  `1 ≤ p` and strictly convex when `1 < p`.

+For `p : ℝ`, prove that `λ x, x ^ p` is concave when `0 ≤ p ≤ 1` and strictly concave when
+`0 < p < 1`.
